Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche – Three Easy Steps

Healthy Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche in three easy steps

Quick no-curst or crustless quiches are the new trends these days. This simple, easy and effortless recipe for crustless swiss chard quiche is creamy, cheesy and super delicious made with cottage cheese, cheddar cheese that just melts in the mouth. A perfect take with you quiche to bring as a guest or serve when entertaining at home.

One of my challenges with healthy eating in this family is greens. While the kids will munch on a broccoli without any fuss somehow the greens need a bit of masking. That goes not just with the kids but Ziv too! Yup hubby can be a big baby when it comes to leaves. He has a mental allergy towards them.

So the only way I approach it is to make it less obvious. Often they go in wraps, quiches, tortillas and of course soup!!

This quiche is so versatile and works great not just with Swiss chard. I’ve made it with a few other greens too! The best part? It’s simple, easy and effortless for me.

I refer to this as my three-step process that’s why I love it so much.

Step 1 – Prepare Swiss Chard mixture – this can be done in advance
In fact, you can make this at the beginning of the week. Then prepare the quiche for dinner on the day you need it.
If you have extra Swiss Chard lying around and have no time to use it – prepare this mix, cool it and throw it in the freezer.

Step II – Prepare Cheese Mixture – This gets done in two minutes because it’s simple as whisking them in a bowl.

Swiss Chard – I’ve used only Swiss chard in this recipe but if you prefer you can make a combination of spinach and Swiss chard. You can even use all spinach or a combination of your favorites like leeks.

Cottage Cheese – I like using cottage cheese as it adds more body to the mixture and of course is more healthy compared to cream for a weekday dinner. But by all means, if you prefer the richness of cream go ahead and substitute the cottage cheese with half the amount of cream (in this case 1/2 cup)

Cheese – I’ve used a combination of Cheddar, Gouda and a hint of Parmesan. Gouda and Parmesan are a bit stronger in flavor so they do a great job of emphasizing the cheese flavor without adding too much. Cheddar is a class of its own and one I have on hand all the time. It works great with quiches and pies because the flavor is always perfect.

Milk – I have substituted the milk with Coconut milk and it’s yum.. with a coconut flavor of course. I know a friend who uses Almond milk in all her quiche instead of milk but I have not tried that yet.

I made this gluten-free using 1 Tbsp of Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 GF Baking Flour in the egg mixture, and I sprinkled GF cornmeal in my pan. Came out great! (I was wondering about the flour, as “2 Tbsp flour” is in the ingredients list but I didn’t see it mentioned in the directions, so I went with 1 Tbsp.)

Hey Millie. Glad to hear gluten-free flour and cornmeal worked as well. Will be helpful to those who want a gluten-free option. Yes, the flour does need to be added with the cheese. Helps it set so it cuts decent slices or it’s too soft.

Just made this last week and it was really tasty. Made it for some family guest and they could not believe it was swiss chard. Thank you for such a delicious and healthy recipe. Was really simple and easy.

I’m very partial to quiches. They are so versatile and an excellent dish for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. And you’re right! What a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. It looks so good I can’t believe it doesn’t have a crust. A great recipe when I’m trying to save on calories. I’m pinning.

I love the idea of adding Swiss chard to a quiche! My husband is also a bit picky about vegetables and greens, they have to be prepared a certain way for him to like them, haha! We used to grow Swiss chard in my mom’s garden when we were growing up and I remember eating it straight from the garden – I loved it!

Thanks Sarah..!! I love Swiss Chard too! I do think that compared to other greens it does have a distinct flavor. I usually succeed in adding spinach and leeks without Ziv or Aadi asking what’s in? But when I add Swiss Chard.. they will always ask… what is that taste in there?
